Question 26 • AA - S26 Introduction to Healthcare Science

If you arrive at the scene with an unconscious patient who has no pulse and you do not have a CPR mask, you should

Answer
A
perform CPR anyway.
B
call 9-1-1 and sit with the patient.
C
use a respirator in place of a CPR mask.
D
wait until someone with a CPR mask arrives.

Explanation

A CPR mask is not required to begin CPR. Call 9-1-1 and start chest compressions; if you are not trained or willing to give rescue breaths, hands-only CPR is better than waiting or doing nothing. Therefore, perform CPR anyway.
